Notes

This right here.

Your home on the Internet? Get a website. Looking for interaction? Add comments (or Webmention).

“Quote toots?” Look at what I’m about to do instead:

The more I look at this “issue” the more I’m convinced the solution is already right there and it’s called the web.

O.

[T]rying to force people to adopt HTTPS is selling out to Google[.]

Posting two random images through Micropub.

Drinking a St. Bernardus Christmas Ale by Brouwerij St. Bernardus.

(Finally) pushed the latest version of “Share on Mastodon” to WP.org. Hoping nothing breaks. 😬 There’s a couple things I’ve been wanting to address; this should again give us a decent baseline. Added since the last release are delayed syndication, and improved Micropub compatibility.

Could’ve had a nice and quiet Sunday evening, but I decided to play Mega Man 2 instead, for like the first time ever.

A bit of an amateur developer and “homo economicus” myself, I find this way more interesting than I probably should.

In a comment on a popular Hacker News post, [Van Kooten] dropped the hint that he is willing to sell the nearly ten-year-old plugin[.]

I’m obviously biased (and have yet to read the book), but: 100 times this.

Holy moly, it’s good to read a book about tech that’s not about software.

I’d never heard of scrollbar-gutter: stable (but regularly use overflow-y: scroll). The former probably looks better on most pages; if certain elements are to extend all the way to the edge of the window, an actual scrollbar may provide the more consistent look.

This!

Choice is at the core of the IndieWeb approachability and accessibility challenge. […] I think there’s a place for more opinionated guides to the IndieWeb[.]

I now strip Markdown from (autogenerated) note “titles.” This should allow compatible Atom readers to more correctly recognize notes, and, as a result, hide note “titles.” (My RSS feeds don’t contain note titles to begin with; for RSS, I simply drop notes’ title elements altogether. Most readers are okay with that. If your reader insists on displaying a “title,” or a URL if it can’t find one, you might consider subscribing to the Atom feed instead and get a somewhat useful “title.”)

Moved this blog, which does not use Gutenberg, and does not use a block theme, to IndieBlocks. I do use the plugin’s Custom Post Types and Webmention functionality. (I expect to have to fix some things—like custom field names—around here in the near future.)

I’m not actually sure that I want a Twitter replacement. As I said up top, I’m gonna try posting fewer things, more thoughtfully. A new app that lets me rapidly tap out hot takes isn’t exactly a good way of supporting that.

One day I’ll learn to focus on one thing instead of ten at a time.
